CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability in the ClickHouse connector deployment template for Amazon Athena Federated Query allows authenticated remote users to access arbitrary AWS Secrets Manager secrets by misconfiguring the connector's connection string. This could lead to unauthorized exposure of sensitive information within the deploying account. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version v2026.17.1 or later, or redeploying the connector with the appropriate configurations to mitigate the risk.

Original NVD Description
Incorrect privilege assignment in the ClickHouse connector deployment template in Amazon Athena Federated Query prior to v2026.17.1 could allow an authenticated remote user to read arbitrary AWS Secrets Manager secrets in the deploying account by pointing the connector's connection string at an unrelated secret and at a database endpoint under the user's control, causing the connector to transmit the secret to that endpoint. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to aws-athena-query-federation connectors version v2026.17.1 or later and ensure that any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes. Alternatively, to remediate this issue, users should redeploy the connector with the current template and supply a non-empty SecretNamePrefix value.
